    Has anyone got a laptop hard drive adapter I could borrow?

    Seems needless me buying one just for the sake of pulling some info off it.

    If anyone has one spare I will gadly pay for the postage!

    to be honest an ebay one will cost a few quid, by the time you pay someone to post one and return it you could buy one.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-5-HD-to-3-5-...d=p3286.c0.m14

    or £2.80 form the uk http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-5-Laptop-to-...d=p3286.c0.m14

    I have feedback on trust here, ebay, OcUK and Bit-tech. Also I will pay postage for the item before they even send it out if they wish.



    Someone has been kind enough to send me their HD adapter through here so dont need to buy one now but thanks very much for the links.

    Just to let you all know, I'm sending Noni an adapter.

    I have a bunch of them I don't need.

    Forgot to say in my PM Noni, I don't need it back. Drop something in a charity collection pot on my behalf

    Desktop and Laptop SATA are the same.

    And if you have customers, stop being so cheap and buy one

    And for SATA laptop drives, the power connector is the same as well.
